The burden placed on Cook is not surprising considering quarterback Everett Golson arrived in June after transferring from Notre Dame and will need more time to absorb Fisher’s entire playbook. Quarterback Everett Golson needs to help take some of the burden off Cook after starting slow last week. Florida State was only one of five opponents to pass the century mark, and it was held to less than four yards per carry.
Florida State is 1-1 ATS and the total is 1-1. How should FSU expect Boston College to try and slow down the run threat?
But I don’t think anybody outside the Boston College locker room even sees the possibility that Florida State might lose this week.
In the two other college football games on Friday night, Boise State, after being upset by BYU last weekend and fell out of the AP top 25 rankings, will look to bounce back against Idaho State, while Arizona State will entertain New Mexico at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.

Golson is the most experienced player on offense, and his leadership will be depended on so Cook, FSU’s young offensive line and receivers can take advantage of the limited possessions they will have against B.C. As for the defense, their recipe for success after the first two games should not be altered. The Panthers’ junior had three tackles for losses (eight yards) among his five total stops. He struggled against South Florida throwing for only 163 yards and a touchdown. Although Addazio highly touts sophomore quarterback Darius Wade’s running ability, he’ll turn to his primary running back: Jonathan Hilliman. Not that he will maintain that pace, but still, he could challenge the school record for carries, which belongs to Larry Key who had 239 in 1977 or 21.7 per game. But Dalvin Cook and FSU’s defense have been the Seminoles’ bread and butter through two games. He rushed for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns. What is the vibe with this team entering Friday night’s matchup? Five defensive players are listed as questionable or out. He has seen Florida, FSU and Miami all win national championships, and he covered Bear Bryant, Bobby Bowden and Don Shula along the way.
Mississippi : Without question, Boston College’s running defense is the strongest part of the team-and it isn’t close. In the first quarter, Rashad forced a fumble that was scooped up by teammate Sam Smiley and returned 52 yards to set up a UNC score. The Eagles average 37.5 penalty yards per game. Alex Howell will tack on a field goal in the fourth. Boston College is expected to have a down season, and their first two big wins will not be indicative of how their season will turn out going forward.”Covers Expert Steve Merril”. Troy Flutie, nephew of BC legend Doug, has thrown for 88 yards with a touchdown, and also has a run for 20 yards. Myles Willis has 7 carries for 77 yards. The road team is 7-3 ATS in this series recently. “The last game we didn’t”. Golson faces a familiar opponent though this week in Boston College.
Boston College has put up some ridiculous numbers so far, but against two FCS schools. Our team has been playing at a pretty good level and we know Duke is always a very competitive team.
